STUART Parnaby has a good chance of being fit for this weekend’s friendly double-header.

However, Julio Arca is unlikely to be considered for the games at Carlisle and York.

Both players missed Tuesday’s 2-2 derby draw at Hartlepool through injury, as did Joe Bennett and Jonathan Woodgate.

Tony Mowbray wants as many players as possible to get 90 minutes under their belts at the weekend.

To that end, he’ll name two entirely different starting line-ups at Brunton Park and Bootham Crescent.

New signing Mustapha Carayol is likely to make his debut while George Friend is on course for a first start after coming on at half-time at Victoria Park. Woodgate is expected to play in one of the matches.

Fans can pay on the door at Carlisle and York.

Boro, meanwhile, received an allocation of 1,500 tickets for the Capital Cup round one tie against Bury at Gigg Lane on Saturday, August 11.

Tickets cost £12 (adults) and £6 (concessions) are now on general sale.
